Worst Team Ever?

So everyone already knew Nadiya & Natalie were a pretty annoying team, with their constant jabbering during the Roadblocks and stuff. But, at least at that point, the annoyance is generally harmless. And you could say they're just excited.

But now they're resorting to taking other teams' money, which in my book, qualifies them as being in that special Jonathan/Victoria tier of hated TAR teams. I get that they didn't go and steal it out of James/Abba's pockets or anything and that James/Abba were being careless. But they knew it was another team's money and they knew what they were doing was "wrong". If they don't think they can win The Amazing Race without devolving to those kinds of tactics... Well, then that says a lot of what Nadiya & Natalie think of their own raw abilities.

Up and Down

It was generally a good week for scoring overall. The bonus game really gave a chance to boost some scores and a few players cashed in on their lockout bonuses. There were a few players affected by the crappy Chippendales, but scores were generally good.

We did lose two more players this week, michel and FFantasyFX, due to the bonus game. Even though it didn't work out, I'd say it was definitely worth a shot to just go for it. Thanks for playing, both of you!

At the very least, you can both brag that you outlasted me by at a week.

The Greatest Gainer goes to sarah1234, who climbed up 4 ranks to #6 overall. Nicely done!

The Perfect Bet

also goes to sarah1234 (2.4x), with jbenz (2.2x) close behind. A combination of bonus wagers and lockout bonuses certainly did the trick. Congrats!

Bonus Game - Lucky 7

My apologies for another repeat bonus game... Been feeling a little under the weather lately.

The object of this game is to pick two teams whose ranks at the end of the next episode add up to 7. In other words, that means you're trying to pick the teams that finish 1st & 6th, 2nd & 5th, or 3rd & 4th.

It doesn't matter what your intent is, just the outcome. If you bet on two teams, expecting them to be 1st & 6th, and then they finish 3rd & 4th, you still win. All you're doing is picking two teams for your wager and hoping they add to 7. I can't tell you how many times I've dumb lucked my way into a win at this game. I recall a bet I made a couple years back expecting my guys to finish 2nd/5th... And then they ended up finishing 3rd/4th, causing me to win the bonus anyway. Hooray for luck!

Place a wager next to your bonus picks. If the final ranks of the two bonus teams you pick equals 7, then you're a winner.

Here's the Payout Table for this game.

Remember, if you're going to play Lucky 7, the wager goes on a pair of teams. Like the example...

Thanks for the heads-up. I was feeling pretty ill when I was calculating the scores and am still trying to get a good system going in checking the lockouts, so I really appreciate you bringing any goof-ups to my attention.

I've updated your score to 106. I got 106 instead of 107 because you wagered 27 on the evil twins, not 28. But otherwise we agree on the math.
